Routine Hydrant Flushing

The City of Garland Water Department conducts routine fire hydrant flushing to maintain the integrity of the water distribution system.

Garland has more than 8,000 fire hydrants, 1100 miles of distribution pipeline and over 67,000 water meters. The distribution system is continually monitored for leaks, water quality and necessary repairs.

While flushing may appear to be a waste of water, it is a necessary step for maintaining water delivery systems throughout the nation.
